There are two kinds of unfamiliar English words. (1) Meanings change over time in all languages, including English, so a word that was very common 100 years ago might not be common today. For example, 100 years ago, people used Morse Code, and journalists used Phillips Code, to send messages. Today, many people have never heard of Morse Code or Phillips Code. Or, back in the days of the Bible, there were many words that reflected the customs or beliefs of that time; today, we see words like "ephod" or "shibboleth" and we need a Bible dictionary to explain them. (2) Many words are unfamiliar because even though they are modern, they are special to one particular profession-- meteorologists (people who study weather) use certain words that the average person would not know. The same is true for lawyers, doctors, and pharmacists. And as a former English teacher, I can tell you there are many wonderful words that you may not have encountered yet, but you would benefit from knowing them. That is why dictionaries are still so important, because they help us to define (and learn) new words, which enhances our vocabulary.
